Is there a "foolproof" way to determine whether an Old Judge card has been rebacked? I have seen some (like the ones Mike Wheat has) which are obvious and the seller makes no effort to treat them as originals. But I am sure that there are other individuals with fewer scruples who might try (with a more masterful job) to pass off a rebacked version as the real thing. How would one know?
Related to the above, what do you think is a fair price for a rebacked card? I'm not sure that anyone would go to the effort of rebacking a common, but let's take a Hall of Famer like Pud Galvin. If his regular card had an SCD book value of $1200 in NM shape, what is a reasonable price for the same card in a version that is rebacked?
